Notifications Panel

After updating from 1.2 to Andromeda3 I seem to be having an issue with the notification panel. When I try to swipe it down from the task bar at the top of the screen it will lock at random positions, sometimes only the bottom grab bar will show, sometimes everything but the buttons will show. If I open notifications from the home screen the whole panel displays. The only things I can think of causing this is either using LauncherPro or a percent battery mod I created on the UOT Kitchen using the most recent framework-res.apk. Maybe I did something wrong during the creation of the percent battery mod, some check box somewhere that shouldn't have been checked. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] perosredo:
I've tried SpeedMod K13D with Andromeda3 and it works flawlessly. I've used SuckerPunch (the non-OC variant) with 1.2 and that worked pretty good as well; I don't think I'll be going back to it however.

That being said, the default Andromeda kernel works really good.

Haven't noticed any GPS issues in my area but you could always try the Plumb Bob Fix. Lot's of users are reporting great success with it.
[Captivate Android Development] alisher:
Great ROM - smooth and fast... but with some mistakes:

- when I'm opening contact information there is 'Video call' button instead 'Call' (captivate don't have front camera).

- some ringtones has double - Classic bell, Samsung tune.

PS - why Andromeda ROM founders don't like Samsung OEM music player? Instead this we have player without equalizer with minimum of settings and there is no music control from oem headset :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Easily fixed, as I have told you and provided you the apk.
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
Might try that. Don't know why it went from stellar to awful. If I can't get back at least to what it was I will be flashing back to 1.2 again.:(

Eagerly awaiting GB Armani source.
[Captivate Android Development] weenrock:
On the newest andromeda3 & on ATT H network with full service. Did two speed tests - I am averaging 189-241 ping .11 - .59 Mbps down and .37 Mbps up.

What gives?
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
Time of day. Network busy. Area. Weak signal. You can have blazing fast 2g and slow 3g, network will put you on 3g.
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
This isn't really a rom problem, but a modem problem. Try flashing a diffrent modem or even the same one over again. Sometimes they don't take when you flash. There is a whole thread at the top stickied and dedicated to this dicussion complete with downloads and everthing. I wish there was some real objective science as to why sometimes one flash yields results when others don't. Especially where the modem is concerned. Then again Att might be upgrading the towers in your area. Good luck , and don't give up on the Andromeda3 goodness.

ATT"s network isn't exactly known to be the fastest, nor the most reliable.
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
I've had to flash a modem/rom multiple times to get it to catch. The last a3 flash has been golden with signal strength.
[Captivate Android Development] weenrock:
Thanks for the replies. I doubt it would be a rom problem. I used to have the JK4 modem with firefly and I typically would use that in edge areas. Now that I relocated I have been using the JK4 modem with A3 in 3G-H area. There is no stability :\
[Captivate Android Development] dwanhala:
I've found the JL2 modem to work better for me in my area. I'm located by Lake Superior if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
And word on Andromeda 4? Or 3.5...name not necessarily important at this point. Just curious as to the future of this amazing ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Nothing yet... we are waiting on source. Once source drops we can start work.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I would donate if you guys made an all captivate version of andromeda (not off of the armani 9010 kernel). I just don't get why you made that decision as we do not get the audience chip support on i900 roms/modems which make our cappys so great.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
They build off of the i9010 because it is better built for security issues that the i897 doesn't address. There was some other reasons, it was only a couple pages back if I remember. Point is, the pros of the i9010 far outweigh just having a little better sound quality. Honestly, I'm on the stock KF1 ROM right now and I can't tell a difference in sound quality.

[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I'm using whatever came default with Andro 3 and I keep dropping calls and have quite horrible call quality...any suggestions? I'm guessing kernel issues but I've never flashed a kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Its likely a signal quality issue. However, you could try a modem from the modem thread.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Any suggestions for a specific one? I really like my battery life right now, but I'm willing to sacrifice some of it (not much though) for better signal strength/call quality.

EDIT: would this be ideal?

[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Ugjk4. disable 1900 band on that modem if you still have problems. I.e. battery drain / bad quality. It likes to default to 1900.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
I'm already getting a better signal strength. Will have to see how the battery holds up today but I flashed the modem with a 100% battery.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Kp1. Pretty good battery life and download speed but I really like the call volume.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i dont get why you would make a statement like 'i would donate if'

andromeda was born out of our yearning for a captivate rom with proper kernel (no reorientation/button issues), but with HSUPA, and it was the first captivate 2.2 rom we got source for. we built it with this in mind, and none of us on the team gave 2 ****s about the audience chip....i truly dont understand why everyone busts a nut over the audience chip... it doesnt do a whole lot, and definitely doesnt warrant making another rom just for that reason.

no 60k posts here fellas

heres looking at you mike, ord enabler numero uno
[Captivate Android Development] pkadavid:
+1 for KC1.

I settled on it after playing around with nearly every modem. Battery life has been fantastic. 5% per hour drain without use. With moderate use, I had 40% left yesterday after 14 hours off charger. 4 mbps down, 1 mbps up. GPS is spot on, but I'm firmly in the camp that this is hardware related. If you have bad hw, then a different modem or whatever may help. If you have good hw, then it doesn't matter.

Of course, this all comes with the location caveat. I'm in Austin, TX, so I have no idea how the signal will be where you are.

Is it safe to update the built-in apps? The ones that came with the rom like BLN, TiBu, Voodoo, etc. don't show up in the market as installed. App Brain also shows those as having updates.

Are they safe to update? Should I uninstall first and then install from the market?
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Yes they are safe to update. Just update.
[Captivate Android Development] pkadavid:
Adam, thanks for the quick reply. Just wanted to clarify, though, that it doesn't show as "update" in the market. It shows the apps as if they weren't even installed. I want to make sure it won't install them in two locations.

Thanks. Loving the rom btw! Can't wait for a GB version.

EDIT: Never mind. I just installed over them, and it worked. No problems.

I've been on quite a few GB roms but I never actually tried a custom froyo. This rom kicks ass! I think I am going to park here and wait for the 2.3 firmwares to mature.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Welcome to the club. Nice to see that others are finding out what many of figured out months ago. The only downside is, you have to read back up on flashing since you won't be doing it till the new rom arrives. :D

I am most eager to flash a new Andromeda (4?) ROM :D Just waiting...
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
alrighty guys ..

I been hangin on this for way too long .. This was designed by ME for Andromeda2 but we never released it .

What is it ? its an added option in settings that will allow you to change/ add animations , its a cool mod that I was never able to port to another rom , it just works on andromeda (dont ask why ) ..

Make sure you back up your $h*t before you flash this ..

I only ask 2 things

1_please dont post mirros or uplaod to XDA if someone needs a mirror do it in private . (if you have to download form your phone use firfox mobile to download it)

2_if you like it say thx .

ANIMATION MOD

If you guys like it enough maybe adam can link it in the OP (as a quote please adam )

Credits to Aleadam ( yet another M.I.A TK member) and the folks in #milestone-moding @freenode for helping me with the mods ..
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Does it have any animations built into it? I'm assuming you're talking about opening animations?
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Sure thing bud. I can't add you as a contributor though.... since yours already a project owner..:-)

Hey im sorry i dont feel like reading earlier posts...is this rom flashable through CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Your question is answered in the first paragraph. Its also in video form too if you don't want to read. Everything you need to know about flashing a rom is in the first post. That goes for 90% of the roms out there. Yes it is available in CWM

Thank you...sorry for the trouble i actually read the ROM description after i posted so...sorry
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
Good job, 10 post and this is your first in the dev section. Way to stay ahead of the curve. You're gonna go far here on xda.

EDIT

Just looked and you've already started 4 question threads in the captivate general section. Way to stay on the top of the ball there kid.

Question threads in general, not reading the first post of a rom thread in dev. Alright, welcome to xda.
[Captivate Android Development] pandakh:
Am I sensing sarcasm?
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
No sarcasm, just do what everyone else does. READ, RESEARCH, then ask a question if you can't find it. XDA isn't about spoon feeding readily available info that is usually found on the first page. It's also not going win you many friends when you make a post like,

What if adam and everyone else said, "sorry, we don't feel like spoon feeding you"

The great developers here don't get paid to do this, unless people want to donate to them. They do it for the love of doing it and helping the community out. The time spent on answering questions from people that "don't want to read" is time wasted, that could be spent makeing their rom better. This is the very reason questions like these get harsh responses from other members and threads like this get locked by the admins. Do yourself a favor and read, read, then read some more before you ask a question.

Wow... while I appreciate the respect.... a simple referral to the q&a forum would have been perfectly acceptable. We have an Andromeda Q&A for that reason.
[Captivate Android Development] plwalsh88:
Does the use of custom animations have any significant effect on battery life?

And is backing up just a precaution or does flashing it clear any data?

It does drop a lockscreen, swap the android and puzzle lockscreen settings though.

Well I took the plunge and OMG this ROM rocks! Being a relative NOOB (only third flash, I bricked my phone twice in the process (glad I had a JIGG) I suspect the problem is in my PC since part way through my PC came up with unrecognized device and I had to re-install the drivers.

Thanks for putting it together. I came from Paragon (which is no longer supported) and Andromeda3 has great battery life and GPS. You have also included a nice set of Apps and ring tones. Donation sent.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Thanks. You could use the official signature in the first post if you'd like a graphic. Right now we're waiting on source for GB for the i9010 to make Andromeda 4. It shouldn't be too much longer.

Would it be safe to flash this from GB 2.3.4 w/i897 GB bootloaders from CWM -3? Is it true that the i897 GB bootloaders are backward compatible? I never tried Andromeda when I was on Froyo and wish I would of. Has anyone done this,do I need to flash JF6 first? T.I.A.

Get kernel flasher off of market and flash Ursa Minor 2. Boot into recovery after it flashes and then install andromeda 3. Then install ursa minor 2 again. Cwm 3 does not like andromeda so that is how it is done. It works fine with i897 gb bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
It's not Andromeda that it doesn't like, cwm3 doesn't process amend scripting, it will only process edify scripting. Most all 2.2 roms were done in amend scripting.

Ok thanksfor your help fellas, I just wanted to make sure. Im really enjoyinng Continuum 6.1 w The newest Talon it's more like the stabillity and features we were used to on the js7/js8 roms, I think the charging bug is even gone, (1st time on any gb rom). I just always wished i would have tryed A3 so I thought I might try it cause back on froyo I only tried two different Roms ,since on gb i've been trying several and its been cool...Like getting a new phone every few days. It'll be cool when A4 comes out.

Edit... Changed roms to obsession. Gps is good again. Cmon samsung release some code!
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
I can't do gb for long. The charge bug makes me crazy on i9000 roms and the lack of hsupa makes me nuts on i897 roms. I get my voodoo sound through the premium voodoo app. I get my overclocking from tegrak. And andromeda gives me stable feature set. No broken browser for me or reboots from toggling the wifi. And don't get me started on battery. I don't hold much hope for source either, at one year the captivate is now a dinosaur.

[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Here's a word. The recommended method of installation will be Heimdall One-Click. But like pirateghost said, we don't have anything to work with.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
I made a silly new signature out of an XRAY I took of my phone's mainboard... Andromeda3 goes on the OneNAND, gets processed by the Processor and goes out to your phone. Your Apps and stuff go on the Internal SDCard.

It sounded like a much better idea in my head before I actually drew it and realized I couldn't get the detail into 600x150

Just did a Heimdall flash from 2.1 and everything appeared to go smoothly until the phone booted up and I noticed that the home screen still looked like 2.1. As in, it was the blue bubbles live wallpaper with the Google search bar on top and the bottom row of four apps (Contacts, Messaging, Camera, Market). Everything else seems to be Andromeda3/Froyo looking with Armani font and all. Even the 'About Phone' section shows it to be A3, UrsaMinor2, and KC1. I've never seen this happen on my other Captivate which runs A3. The only difference with this phone was that it was running Eclair 2.1 prior to the flash and did not have a SIM card inserted during the flash. Could either of these have an affect on it? Or has anyone seen this before?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
heimdall does not flash /data partition, which means your settings and possibly apps would still be there doing a heimdall flash.....

format data or do a master clear. Everything will go to Andromeda defaults. We included all the captivate stuff just in case. You didn't do the master clear.

Few questions possibly non-rom releted

Hi AdamOutler,

gr8 work really loved your work, i m running Andromeda3 rim now.

few questions first( not sure Rom related or headset related)

i live in middle east(Kuwait) i have captivate(unlocked via code) i m having trouble fixing gps, can only see 6-7 sats with 4 in use tried a few tricks but not sure of result can any body help.

battery seems to last a little long then a day(26+ hours)only on Andromeda3, moderate use no more then 15-20 min of voicecalls,30min+ of voip calls via wifi , no sms,1hour+gaming and 1hour+ surfing via wifi, 70%+ battery used by display 3 hour+ (set to min brightness) , is it normal.(sorry to ask coming from touch hd which lasted 2+ days with same workload).

i m really confused with GB installation.

can you please tell me

1. is it worth installing GB , knowing my usage, is battery life any better.

2. i have CWM v2.5.13-voodo lagfix installed. with "2.6.32.9 urshaminor #1" kernel, Baseband "I9000UGJK4"

should i change any thing? if i want to install a GB rom can i directly install via zip in cwm?

and lastly are you planing to release a GB rom?

thank you

regards
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
We are waiting on gb source for Armani. I don't have much experience with gb.... I've been flashing it repeatedly on my dev phone to test Heimdall One-click. I do know that its pretty buggy.

Are you using an actual Armani?
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
Hello hafiringi.

1) these phones aren't really known for stellar gps, but changing the modem or just re-flashing the same modem some times gets better results with locks. Experimentation on your end is needed.

2) the battery life you are experiencing is good to normal for these phones, and the gingerbread roms can be a little more feature rich but aren't going to net more battery.

3) you can not flash a gingerbread rom via clockwork without first flashing gingerbread bootloaders thru odin.

Adam is currently working on a new cross platform one click installer that uses heimdall that looks like its gonna be pretty cool, but you still need a computer to flash, any computer:D Mac, Linux, windows.
